Steps

90 minutes

1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the pork shoulders and sear for 10 minutes on one side.
2

Flip the pork, add the chopped onion, and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavours to blend.
4

Add the quartered potatoes, sliced carrots, and bay leaves. Pour in just enough hot water to cover all the ingredients.
5

Simmer uncovered for 60–90 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and most of the water has evaporated. Stir occasionally.
6

If using, crack in an egg during the final minutes of cooking and allow it to poach to your liking.
7

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot, optionally with crusty bread on the side.
